Poetry Palace Now Open For Tourists--Beware

Peek, if you dare…inside my Palace of CREATIVITY
Observe my drafty walls, and rhyming dungeons                                     ^^
Enter, my friends, with no delusions!                                             ^^
There are marbled halls of mass confusion… 
Regarding your ILLUSION, of metaphoric INFUSIONs,… 
Your opinions may falter, upon the alter, compared to other verses                ^^

                                                                                                  ^^
Poetic attempts, and past regrets, are ghostly curses
And with INEVITABLE blunders, they rattle off meter, the echos could haunt you!
Lest you dare, just beware, dear readers….  WATCH YOUR STEP!                          ^^
As your guide, I’ll confide….people have died!
'Cause this Poetry Palace, has bats in the belfry! (As everyone knows)…
EVENTUALLY, this palace place should be foreclosed!

Hi Carrie. This is a haunted castle...nice! Love the inevitable blunders that rattle of meter and the haunting echoes..sweeet descriptions...oh my, and people have died? SCary! Best of luck with this poem...I saw your pics of Lassen...where is that located? Looks amazingly gorgeous. And I love where your inspiration to write comes from...what great poetry lineage. Gwendolen
